Definitions

  • the invention relates to a terminal fitting, to a connector provided therewith and to a method of assembling such connector.
  • Japanese Utility Model Publication No. S61-60486 and FIG. 8 herein disclose a known connector that can be mounted on a printed circuit board.
  • the connector has a housing 1 made of a synthetic resin.
  • the housing 1 has opposite front and rear ends, and a receptacle is formed at the front end for receiving a mating connector.
  • Through holes extend through the housing 1 from the receptacle to the rear end of the housing 1 .
  • Terminal fittings 2 extend through the through holes so that front ends of the terminal fittings 2 extend into the receptacle. Rear ends of the terminal fittings 2 project from the rear of the housing 1 and towards the circuit board.
  • the terminal fittings 2 have press-in portions that are larger than the through holes.
  • the press-in portions typically were used to press the terminal fittings 2 from the front and through the through holes of the housing 1 .
  • Terminal fittings 2 recently have been pressed forward from the rear of the housing 1 to simplify production processes and to use the same automated facilities for several different connectors. However, terminal fittings pressed from the rear of the housing, may not exhibit a sufficient terminal holding force during connection of the male and female housings against a pressure acting in the withdrawing direction of the terminal fittings.
  • a larger press-in portion has been considered to increase the terminal forcing force.
  • the larger press-in force leads to a larger compressive stress on the housing, and might cause a crack in the housing.
  • the present invention was developed in view of the above problem and an object thereof is to prevent the withdrawal of terminal fittings.
  • the invention relates to a terminal fitting to be pressed into an insertion hole of a housing of a connector.
  • the terminal fitting includes an inserting portion with a press-in portion to be pressed into the insertion hole.
  • the press-in portion is dimensioned to generate outward deformation of material defining the insertion hole.
  • the inserting portion also has an accommodating portion substantially continuous with the press-in portion.
  • the accommodating portion has at least one slanted surface that narrows the press-in portion toward its rear side with respect to an inserting direction.
  • the material deformed by the press-in portion can at least partly return after the press-in portion has passed to engage the accommodating portion.
  • the returned material engages the accommodating portion to prevent the withdrawal of the terminal fitting even if a pressure acts on the terminal fitting in withdrawing direction.
  • each terminal fitting at the rear end of the accommodating portion preferably is equal to or smaller than the width of the insertion hole.
  • the slanted surface of the accommodating portion preferably extends substantially up to the entrance of the insertion hole.
  • a slanted surface that terminated at an intermediate position of the insertion hole would be steeper and a larger clearance would exist between the returned material and the slanted surface.
  • the returned material would not catch the accommodating portion sufficiently to resist pressure on the terminal fitting in the withdrawing direction.
  • the slanted surface of the accommodating portion preferably extends substantially up to the entrance of the insertion hole, and is sloped moderately. Therefore, the accommodating portion is caught sufficiently by the returned material to prevent the withdrawal of the terminal fitting when a pressure acts on the terminal fitting in withdrawing direction.
  • the terminal fitting may have two slanted surfaces that narrow the press-in portion toward its rear side with respect to inserting direction.
  • the terminal fitting preferably has a bulge for contacting a stepping surface of the housing to restrict insertion of the terminal fitting to a proper depth in the insertion hole.

  • a bulge 22 is formed behind the inserting portion 21 and is configured to be accommodated in the introducing hole 18 .
  • the inserting portion 21 is slightly shorter than the insertion hole 15 of the housing 12 .
  • a press-in portion 23 is formed at substantially a front half of the inserting portion 21 and is defined by two slanted surfaces 23 A that diverge towards the back.

  • the terminal fitting 20 has a portion 20 A of substantially constant rectangular cross section that extends from the front end of the terminal fitting 20 to a position 25 A slightly behind the recess 16 .
  • the inserting portion 21 extends rearward from the position 25 A and becomes gradually wider towards the back due to the diverging slanted surfaces 23 A.
  • the inserting portion 21 reaches a maximum width slightly larger than the width of the insertion hole 15 near a center 25 B of the inserting portion 21 and the rear of the press-in portion 23 .
  • the inserting portion 21 then becomes gradually narrower due to the converging slanted surfaces 24 A of the accommodating portion 24 .
  • the accommodating portion 24 is slightly narrower than the insertion hole 15 at a portion 25 C at the front end of the bulge 22 and near the stepping surfaces 17 .
  • the inclination of the slanted surfaces 24 A preferably is more moderate than the inclination of the slanted surfaces 23 A.
  • Movement of the terminal fitting 20 into the insertion hole 15 causes a part of the press-in portion 23 that is wider than the insertion hole 15 to push material defining the insertion hole 15 outward. At least part of the pushed-out material then returns towards the accommodating portion 24 to be accommodated around the accommodating portion 24 .

Additionally, biting projections 26 project forward at opposite widthwise sides of the front end of the bulge 22 and are joined to the accommodating portion 24 by arcuate recesses. The bulge 22 contacts the stepping surfaces 17 of the housing 12 to restrict the insertion position of the terminal fitting 20 when the terminal fitting 20 is pressed to a substantially proper insertion depth. The biting projections 26 at the front end of the bulge 22 then bite into the stepping surfaces 17 deform the material near the accommodating portion 24 towards the accommodating portion 24 . The bulge 22 is accommodated in the introducing hole 18 so that a rear end surface 22 B of the bulge 22 is substantially flush with the rear end surface of the back wall 13 when the terminal fitting 20 is pressed to the proper position.

  • the accommodating portion 24 then enters the insertion hole 15 as the terminal fitting 20 is advanced further.
  • the accommodating portion 24 converges gradually due to the slanted surfaces 24 A at the opposite widthwise sides.
  • the material pushed out by the press-in portion 23 returns after the passage of the press-in portion 23 to engage around the accommodating portion 24 .
  • the bulge 22 behind the accommodating portion 24 contacts the stepping surfaces 17 when the terminal fitting 20 reaches the proper insertion depth to prevent further insertion.
  • the terminal fitting 20 is fixed at the proper insertion depth and the biting projections 26 bite into the stepping surfaces 17 to deform a part of the material near the accommodating portion 24 towards the accommodating portion 24 .
  • Ends of the terminal fittings 20 that project back beyond the rear of the back wall 13 are bent down preferably at substantially right angles by a bending jig (not shown) after the terminal fittings 20 reach their proper positions.
  • the bent rear portions then are introduced through an alignment plate 31 to achieve a specified pattern and are connected with the circuit board.
  • Slanted surfaces 24 A of the accommodating portion 24 would have a steeper inclination if the slanted surfaces 24 A terminated at an intermediate position along the insertion hole 15 .
  • This hypothetical design would cause larger clearances between the returned material and the slanted surfaces 24 A.

  • the slanted surfaces 24 A of the accommodating portion 24 extend substantially to the entrance of the insertion hole 15 , and are sloped more moderately. Therefore, the accommodating portion 24 is caught sufficiently by the material to prevent the withdrawal of the terminal fitting 20 when a pressure acts on the terminal fitting 20 in withdrawing direction.
  • the bulge 22 is formed with the biting projections 26 for engaging the stepping surfaces 17 and deforming the material towards the accommodating portion 24 .
